Abstract

The invention is directed to a process for the production of hot-rolled steel strip from continuously cast precursor strip in at least two deformation stages, each deformation stage having one or more roll stands, wherein initial rolling is carried out in the first deformation stage at the output speed at which the precursor strip exits from the continuous casting plant and the intermediate strip thus produced is coiled prior to the second deformation stage at the output speed at which it exits from the first deformation stage, wherein the coil is uncoiled after reaching the coil weight and is supplied to the second deformation stage for finish rolling at the initial roll pass speed and is then coiled in the desired finished coil sizes. In the first deformation stage, at least 40 tons of a casting sequence of the continuous casting plant is rolled out in endless manner to form intermediate strip and is coiled to form an intermediate coil without severing, and after more or less endless finish rolling the intermediate strip of this intermediate coil is severed according to the desired coil weights and coiled as finished strip only following the second deformation stage.
